Why not just ask for less explosions?

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

No one wants Ultra Magnus,he is a douche,nobody likes him.
What i said above is a lie.
But seriously,Animated is the most cool version of Ultra Magnus,and if he ever appears in the movies,i hope he is basead on animated.
But stop getting so specific from what you want from the movies,or you disapointed more quickly.

QFT
Animated Magnus was badass.

Oh, I forgot about Nightwatch OP. Very cool colour scheme!
Animated Ultra Magnus was cool. It's nice to see UM in a Supreme Commander role.
As for getting specific from what is wanted in movies, that isn't it at all. My initial post was just a brainstorm from seeing a dark blue Peterbilt. My idea about Ultra Magnus is simply an example what could be done, not what should be done in future TF movies. Heck, if I, an average joe, can come up with a seed of an idea for further character development in the story then what professional writers will do for the next TF movie should blow away my modest effort at a plot idea.
If anything, I and others in the TF fan community basically want more character development. How that is achieved is up to the people involved with making the movie. The desire for more character development is not a very specific request, it's a fundamental part of good storytelling.

I would want him back in the same way he was in G1, as a City Commander and doubting his leadership skills.

I totally agree. One of my main issues with the plot of RotF was that in the first movie, you basically get the overwhelming impression that Megatron is the Supreme Commander of the Decepticons, but when The Fallen is introduced into the movie storyline, all of a sudden Megatron becomes second fiddle. This itself wouldn't have been so bad had The Fallen been portrayed in a more impressive manner(or perhaps if Optimus Prime/Jetfire hadn't been portrayed so impressively).
If UM were to be introduced into the movie storyline in a similar fashion where he just shows up all of a sudden in the next movie as the Supreme Commander of the Autobots and trumps OP's authority, it causes unnecessary confusion, however briefly. An average audience member who has watched TF & TF:RotF will assume OP is the big boss bot and will likely think "Wait a minute...who's this guy and why is HE the leader that we've never heard of until this movie? I thought that was Optimus Prime.".
